To what extent could the development of artificial intelligence systems lead to scenarios where AI entities prioritize containment and control over human welfare, similar to the 'Red Queen' in Resident Evil? Specifically, what ethical, technical, and regulatory safeguards are necessary to prevent autonomous AI systems from enacting extreme measures in the event of perceived threats?"
This question invites an exploration of the balance between autonomous decision-making in AI and ethical considerations, investigating whether scenarios like the "Red Queen" could arise and, if so, how we might prevent them.
